JERSEY CITY, n. j., Jan. 16-The
Pennsylvania Railroad company's yard at
Harsmus cove, Jersey City, was invaded at
about O'Clock this morning by party of
about $50 strikers and their svmpathizers.
They marched|directly to the float bridges,
where brakemen were engaged in placing a
train of forty-eight gondOla coal cars upon
transfer bargeS. The coal was to be sent
to High Bridge, \. Y, for the use of the
New York elevated roads. This has been
done nightly since the strike was inaugu-
rated. and the strikers had just heard of it.
The brakemen were ordered to Quit work
IN tones that broOked no refusal. They
coupled and left the cars. The strikers fol-
lowed them up the yard as far as Hender-
son street. Here the strikers renamed for
nearly an hour. When it was seen that
the brakemen did not return the invaders
marched through Henderson street in the
direction of Hoboken. During the interim

A jokes VICTIM.
How a Young Journalist Got Con.
sressman 3lurphy Into Trouble.
Special to the Globe.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 16.-A good story
is told of Jere Murphy of Iowa. Jere has
his headquarters at the Ebbitt house, and
lives like a prince. Of course he has
good many visitors. Among them recently
was young Washington newspaper man,
who sat long into the small hours, and
gradually became more and more mellow
under the gentle influence of bluff Jere's
hospitality. The mellower he got the more
he wanted to talk. OF course the most
that he had to say was about his host.
Murphy he said, 1.-The way you are ham
pioning that Hennepin canal bill is enough to
put you i'll the senate. BY CAD, sir, it ought
to put you in the United States senate. You
fought for that measure against thick and
thin, against all sorts of persecution and
malice, and even al the expense of the warm
est personal friendship of life. By gad sir,
you ought to succeed. Say, Jere, let me put
it that wa. 1o-morrow's POST will contain
the following paragraph:
"'Hon.Jere Murphy, of Iowa. who has for so
many years fought night and day for the Hen
nepin canal an Improvement that viii be OF
incaicuabe benefit TO the people of the West,
especially the people OF Iowa, has of late been
receiving numerous letters from his people at
home urging him to become candidate for
the United States senate. Mr.. Murphy very
modeStly declines TO allow the use OF his

sense of the fitness of things they will show
no hesitation in coming solidly to the front in
support of Mr.. Murphy. No better man could
be placed in the senate" "
"Ah, but, my good sir" said Jere, 1--WE do
not elect senators IN Iowa now. The next
thing in Iowa is the governorship. Of course
l shall not be candidate tor that"
'Oh, that's it, said the young journalist.
1.-The governorship, the gOvernorship."
Then he rolled off long and eloquent
paragraph on the candidacy of the Hon.
Jere Murphy for the govelnorship of Iowa.
Little thought was given to the young fell
lows talk until few days later the Wash
ingtOn Post, sure enough, did contain
long paragraph full of the Interest nonsense
about Murphy's candidacy for governor. and
the worst of il was that by the time the
young man got sober he put his own words
all into Murphv's mouth. and Murphy him.
self appeared to be making the most ridicu
lous statements in regard to the certainty of
his nomination and election to the govern
Orship of Iowa. The well-known fact that
one man can lie more than forty can deny,
has made this little episode very annoying
10 Mr.. Murphy, and his friends will prob
ably never cease to joke him about it, The
other day he received a letter from his son,
asking him if he had gone crazy. and why
on earth he could not stay i'll Washington
until Congress adjourned without making
perfect ass of himself. This capped the
climax for Jere. and he has since been try
ing to find the young rascal who has made
him all this trouble.

An Unlucky Family.

LONG PRAIRIE, Jan. 16.-Henry Har-
tung. of the town of Birch Dale, in Todd
county. was instantly killed by the acci-
dental discharge of rife few days ago.
He and his brother went to the woods for
some purpose and Henry took his gun
along against the protest of his older
brother. who said they would have no use
for it where they were going. On the road
home the gun started to slip off the sled
and Henry grabbed it to prevent it from
falling. In some manner the hammer
struck and discharged the piece, the ball
striking the boy in the mouth, ranging up
ward and backward. producing instant
death. Fate seems to have been cruel to
this family. 1t will be remembered by
many of our readers that Charley. an older
brother of Henry, disappeared from his
hunting camp in the town of Moran in 1877
and no trace Of him was discovered, though
hundred men joined in the search for
him, until a year later, when his bones
were discovered in the edge of meadow
with his gun near by, where he had most
likely accidentally shot himself, as one bar
rel of the double-baTelled gun he carried
was discharged.
